DATE-FILLED PINWHEELS
My mom made these family favorites when I was growing up. Sliced thin, these cookies are crispy and chewy; sliced thick, they have a cakelike texture. They make an attractive baked gift. -Kathryn Wilkins, Norfolk, Virginia

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the pastry to roll up without cracking. I think I might have needed to let it rest for longer before rolling it.
